Two sides that enjoyed somewhat unexpected top-10 finishes last season go head-to-head on Sunday as Nottingham Forest hosts Brentford in the English Premier League.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching Premier League games as they happen, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.
Forest were last season's surprise package, booking a long-overdue return to European football by finishing in seventh.
While Nuno Espirito Santo's team has lost pacey winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, the Tricky Trees have managed to retain the services of key midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, despite interest from Spurs. New recruits Igor Jesus, Dan Ndoye, Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee should bolster what already looks like one of the stronger squads outside of the established "big six."
Sunday's game, meanwhile, sees Keith Andrews' first competitive game in charge of Brentford, with the former Blackburn Rovers midfielder taking charge following Thomas Frank's departure for London rivals Spurs.
With club captain Christian Nørgaard and key forward Bryan Mbeumo having also left the club in the summer, and Yoane Wissa looking set to join them amid interest from Newcastle, Andrews appears to have a tough task ahead in matching last season's top-half finish.
Nottingham Forest takes on Brentford on Sunday, Aug. 17, at the City Ground, with kickoff set for 2 p.m. BST. That makes it a 9 a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and an 11 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia.
